Betekenis van:
ductility

Voorbeeldzinnen

1. It is further recalled that the investigation showed that ductile cast iron possesses plastic ductility (see recital 30).
2. However, it is noted that ductility and malleability do not always correlate with each other; for instance, gold is both ductile and malleable, but lead is only malleable.
3. The question thus arose whether ductile cast iron must always be considered as ‘non-malleable’ from a technical point of view despite the fact that it possesses plastic ductility.
4. It is recalled that Article 1(1) of the definitive measures Regulation sets out that castings made of ‘non-malleable’ cast iron should be covered. It is further recalled that the investigation showed that ductile cast iron possesses plastic ductility (see recital 30).
5. As concerns the technical characteristics, the investigation demonstrated that ductile cast iron, in contrast to grey cast iron, has technical properties that allow the material to resist higher rupture stress and, more importantly, to be deformed to a significantly higher extent under compressive stress without fracture, i.e. ductile cast iron possesses plastic ductility whereas grey cast iron breaks under compressive stress, i.e. is brittle.
